Four Green Fields Tommy Makem
For Gmaj, throw a finger on the third fret on your B string (d6)
[G]What [D]did I [Gmaj]have, said the [C]fine old [G]woman
[G]What [D]did I [Gmaj]have, this [C]proud old [A]woman did [D]say
I had [G]four [D]green [Em]fields, [G]each one [C]was a [D]jewel[D7]
But [G]stang--[D]ers [Em]came and [C]tried to t[A]ake them from [D7]me
But my [G]fine [D7]strong [Em]sons, they [G]fought to s[C]ave my j[D]ewels
They [C]fought [D]and they [G]died[Em], and [G]that was my [D]grief [D7]said [Gmaj]she.
[G]Long [D]time [Gmaj]ago, said the [C]fine old [G]woman
[G]Long [D]time [Gmaj]ago, this [C]proud old [A]woman did [D]say
There was [G]war [D]and [Em]death, [G]plunder-[C]ing and [D]pillage[D7]
My [G]chil-[D]dren [Em]starved, by [C]mountain [A]valley and [D7]sea
And their [G]wail-[D7]ing [Em]cries, they [G]reached the [C]very [D]heavens
and my [C]four [D]green [G]fields[Em], ran [G]red with their [D]blood, [D7]said [Gmaj]she.
[G]What [D]have I [Gmaj]now, said the [C]fine old [G]woman
[G]What [D]have I [Gmaj]now, this [C]proud old [A]woman did [D]say
I have [G]four [D]green [Em]fields, [G]one of [C]them's in [D]bondage[D7]
In [G]stran-[D]gers [Em]hands, that [C]tried to [A]take it from [D7]me
But my [G]sons [D7]have [Em]sons, as [G]brave as [C]were there [D]fathers
My [C]four [D]green [G]fields[Em] , will [G]bloom once [D]again [D7]said [Gmaj]she.
and my [C]four [D]green [G]fields[Em] , will [G]bloom once [D]again [D7]said [Gsus4]she.[Gmaj]
